Know anyone so set in their
ways dynamite couldn’t move them off a position or opinion, whether it
is a sports team, political party or issue? Most people by the time they
have reached their 40’s have pretty much sorted out what they do or do
not believe, are set in their ways, their mind effectively closed to
contrary opinions or points of view, any new growth choked off by the
weight of a “settled” mind, their character fixed.
Our spiritual schooling involves the development of every aspect of
character, for who can truly say they understand another until they have
walked a mile in their shoes?
IGNORANCE: n
1. lack of knowledge or education
2. unawareness of something, often of something important
Some where in the sands of time the term ignorance transformed from a
simply descriptive word to a pejorative, to be ignorant simply means we
are unaware or lack knowledge.
The lessons needed
to learn to become spiritually complete are legion. Consider: To become a good
leader first the lessons of humility and to resist the siren song of
corruption absolute power sings is necessary. To live alone and be at
peace and to live amongst many and learn to view all as equals, children
of a loving God, regardless of how they may offend. To live childless
and as a parent, to learn these things and so many others, and to do it
from both the male and female perspective is a task far beyond the
capacity of any single lifetime clearly, so our long spiritual schooling
is not constrained by our limited understanding of time or the finality
of flesh. Our Father is eternal and so are His children.
So our job now is not to concern ourselves with past lessons or those
yet to come, but to reside in the moment, for though He has been there
in the past and promises to be there in the future, He resides in today,
with us, His children.
